Take on Helicopters Bundle 90% off @£1.59 on steam. Strangely not listed on offers page. Believe the offer is for a week or so. No idea if its any good and I don't need any more games but 90% off ..maybe

I think it's worth it, yeah. It's basically a little more complex than Arma 2's flight model and comes with simple clickable cockpits, it's playable with a keyboard and mouse but you'll want something analogue after you try to land for the first time; doing the collective (rotor pitch, i.e. go up/down) with a keyboard is a bit of a shitter. I found it was always too much, then too little and so on. A controller or flight stick (if you have a flight stick you really should get this, by the way, to make the purchase more worthwhile) would be perfect. Graphics are pretty much what you'd expect if you've played Arma 2 except the terrain detail is, like, painted on if it's not a 3D model which is absolutely horrendous if you fly close to the ground in, say, the suburbs of the city; from high up it looks bad, but when you get down to the ground you can see that what looked like a road is just a grey colour over the grass texture. It's weird and disappointing but also not exactly a surprise. Helicopter models are great though. There's a story, there's a combat flashback section and the HIND DLC adds a metric shitload of HINDs.

All in all, if you like piloting machinery, it's pretty damn good. Not a full-on sim but not too simple either.

Thanks. I was just looking for a deal on Raiden Legacy earlier this week.

Hope you've enjoyed it. :)

For some reason I can't understand yet, the demo didn't really click on me the first time. But, as I love turn based strategy (and specially this kind of tactical games), I gave it another shot. And I am REALLY glad I did. What a great game. Don't know how I missed it the first time. Thanks for mentioning it! ^^

The Walking Dead Season 2 is 33% off on Steam at the moment. By the look of it Episode two has just dropped as well. Does anyone know how it's going? I've not heard much buzz about Season 2 so far, and if memory serves a few of TellTale's writers left After Season 1?

So my question is: is it any good?

The writers left after season 2 was finished. Sometimes they'll do rewrites between episodes, but for the most part the guys who worked on season 1 did season 2.

There's also been tonnes of buzz about season 2 so far, its just a different kind. Season 1 was pretty unique. Season 2 is good so far. But its only 2 episodes in. If you're unsure of it, perhaps wait until its done.

That's a really good deal, anyone who enjoys brain-bending puzzle platformers must have Gateways in their life.

Also, I think the release of One Finger Death Punch on Steam hasn't got the attention it deserves. It's 4 dollars, 3.20 pounds or 4 euros, and even if you only play the first five levels, it's completely worth it. The game is just utterly spectacular, you really don't want to miss it. If you want to get it even cheaper, you can get it DRM-free at ShinyLoot for $2. Get punching!
